Download or read book Second Acts written by Mark Updegrove and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, "There are no second acts in American lives", but more and more, our former presidents are proving him wrong. No longer fading into the background upon leaving the highest office in the land, ex-presidents perform valuable services as elder statesmen and international emissaries - and by pursuing their own agendas. From Eisenhower taking Kennedy to the woodshed (literally) on the Bay of Pigs crisis, to Carter earning the Nobel Peace Prize, to Bush Sr. and Clinton joining forces in an unlikely partnership for tsunami and Hurricane Katrina relief, the author examines the increasingly important roles that former presidents assume in our nation and throughout the world. Through interviews with former presidents, first ladies, family members, friends, and staffers, the author also delves into the very human stories that play out as the modern ex-presidents - from Truman to Clinton - adjust to life after the White House and attempt to shape their historical legacies. In this, the first narrative history of the modern post-presidency, Mark K. Updegrove makes a refreshingly unique contribution to literature on the American presidents.

Book Synopsis Lives of the Presidents of the United States of America by : John S. C. Abbott
Download or read book Lives of the Presidents of the United States of America written by John S. C. Abbott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Presidents of the United States of America: From Washington to the Present Time, Containing a Narrative of the Most Interesting Events in the Career of Each President; Thus Constituting a Graphic History of the United States There are few persons who can read this record of the Lives of the Presidents of the United States without the conviction, that there is no other nation which can present a consecutive series of seventeen rulers of equal excellence of character and administrative ability. Probably the least worthy of all our presidents would rank among the best of the kings whom the accident of birth has placed upon hereditary thrones; and not an individual has popular sufrage elevated to the presidential chair, whom one would think of ranking with those many royal monsters who have in turn disgraced all the courts of Europe. This record settles the question, that popular suffrage, in the choice of rulers, is a far safer reliance than hereditary descent. With us, the freedom of the press is so unlimited, and political partisanship so intense, that few persons have been able to take really an impartial view of the characters of those who have been by one party so inordinately lauded, and by the other so in temperately assailed. But, as we now dispassionately review the past, most readers will probably find many old prejudices dispelled. In writing these sketches, the author has endeavored to be thoroughly impartial, and to place himself in the position which the subject of the sketch occupied, so as to look from his stand-point upon the great questions which he was called to consider. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were in political antagonism; but no man can read a true record of their lives, and not be convinced that both were inspired with the noblest zeal to promote the best interests of their country and of the human race. The writer has not thought that impartiality requires that he should refrain from a frank expression of his own views.

Book excerpt: The complete rankings of our best -- and worst -- presidents, based on C-SPAN's much-cited Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership.

As America looks ahead to our next election, this book offers perspective and criteria to help us choose our next leader wisely.
Book Synopsis Our Presidents and Their Office, Including Parallel Lives of the Presidents of the People, of the United States and of Several Contemporaries, and a History of the Presidency (Classic Reprint) by : William Estabrook Chancellor
Download or read book Our Presidents and Their Office, Including Parallel Lives of the Presidents of the People, of the United States and of Several Contemporaries, and a History of the Presidency (Classic Reprint) written by William Estabrook Chancellor and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Presidents and Their Office, Including Parallel Lives of the Presidents of the People, of the United States and of Several Contemporaries, and a History of the Presidency No man ever excelled Lord Bacon in expressing a great thought in a few words: he says, "History makes men wise." In addition to making men wise, history contributes largely to their pleasure; and the study of history, like the practice of charity, should begin at home. To us, George Washington is of more importance than all the Old World Captains together from Nimrod to Kitchener. Thomas Jefferson more nearly concerns us than all transatlantic statesmen from Lycurgus to Lloyd-George. Whether we voted for him or not, William Howard Taft, our President, is of more interest to us than all the crowned heads of earth. Sensible men will welcome "Our Presidents and Their Office" as a timely and valuable contribution to our literature. The Presidency of this Republic is the greatest political office known among men. Whether merit or geographical location, whether luck or accident has elevated them to that exalted office - and in the elections of most of them there was something of each and all - they and their careers are well worth study.

Which ones were cheating on their husbands? And why was Eleanor Roosevelt serving hot dogs to the King and Queen of England? American history was never this much fun in school!
